LCA rod ends, which QA1? I dont street drive my car that often but whatever rod ends these wolfe double adjustable LCAs came with are crap, sounds like a baby rattle when you shake the things and 1000000x worse when they are on the car. I need to move my rear a little forward so I need the adjustables, has anyone tried the HD economy plus, self lubricating QA1 ends ($17.00 each)? I'm sure the XM is a better end but its 44.00 less to use the economy plus ends. Just curious if anyone has ever tried them or should I just go with the 29.00 each heavy duty ones?
XMR12 and XML12 with R and L signifying left and right handed thread patterns. XM are dead quiet, don't even waste your time with the others. Jeg's will have them to you in 2-3 days

figured the XMs would be the quietest, just trying to save a few bucks 
I drove the car for about 2 minutes with these rod ends and took them off, never heard anything like it..

You can also order them directly from QA1. I paid $27.42 for the XMR10-12, which was a little less than Jeg's. Their price on solid rod ends was better than I thought, too. $5.66 for the RER10-12 (the chrome ones), opposed to around $10 from Jeg's for the black oxide. I didn't price out the same black oxide one as Jeg's sells, but I'd assume they'd be in the same range. Shipping was a little expensive at $9.70, but I got several other rod ends and the double adjuster I couldn't find anywhere else.
